About NewME

Founded in 2011 by Angela Benton, NewME has accelerated hundreds of entrepreneurs through our online platform, residential “boot-camp” accelerators, and equity portfolio. We pioneered diversity in Silicon Valley by focusing on helping entrepreneurs identify strengths from their non-traditional backgrounds and leveraging them in business. We’ve helped hundreds of entrepreneurs build better businesses some have even went on to raise venture capital funding. To-date NewME has helped minority entrepreneurs raise over $43MM in funding.

What We Do

Residential Accelerators

Our one week accelerator is hosted between our co-living space, Roam, in the beautiful Little Havana neighborhood of Miami and our headquarters in the Wynwood Arts District. Your all-inclusive stay includes your living accommodations, meals, and week long training. We keep our cohorts small, between 8-10 founders, so that you get the one-on-one attention you deserve.

Online Resources

NewME speeds up your road to success by “digging in” and giving you the support you need to win. Our platform is a customizable way to plug into the expertise, people, and resources right when you need it most. And, It's free to join!

Investment Portfolio

Our equity portfolio is made up of the most talented entrepreneurs in our network. These portfolio companies are a mix of entrepreneurs from our previous 12-week residential accelerator and new investments made into select NewME member companies.
